this is a compilation of alt. mixes for the "single of the month club" releases from 2011. during production/mixing, i spent a lot of time listening to the various songs with some of the tracks muted. sometimes i'd listen to vocals and keyboards, or vocals and drums, or just the instruments. it really brought a new perspective to the songs listening to them that way. some more so than others.

since i had found it enjoyable, i thought maybe other people would as well. they're not really "re-mixes", as the original full-mix levels have not been changed. it's more a "re-representation" of the songs with much of the other instruments removed.

track 4 was originally only vocals so i recorded the keyboards after the vocals were recorded strictly for this alt mix.
track 5 was originally recorded without guitars so i recorded the guitar afterwards strictly for this alt mix.
